Trying to live as a civilian with his wife and young children in hiding, Peter Ashton finds himself once again thrown into the front line when his old home is blown up.
Threatened by his past, Ashton determines that the safest protection for his family is himself.

Meanwhile, an assassination in Russia leaves an old friend running from the mafiozniki. With a price on her head and nowhere to go she is desperate for Ashtons help.

With no help from SIS and all his contacts denying they've ever heard of him, Ashton is only one step ahead of the IRA terrorists who are out to retire him for good.
